The code needs to maintain the copyrights and authors. They are “mirroring” usernames into their own domain, with mails that dont correspond to the original authors, stealing their contributions.

Still low, my lineageos phone is going 8 years and is on latest android (and the device wasn’t new when I bought it).

In my experience It’s not about a project plan for features, but actually doings things correctly instead of doing the minimum to finish what you need to do on the current sprint.

It’s the intent, like “high-end” car models, so you can’t distinguish them by features or age.

Even if you don’t opt in, 99% of the people you interact with would have opted in. So you will monitored as they please.

Discord could solve this particular issue by simply adding a wiki.

yeah, as Stack Overflow could. Discord is bound to the stakeholders, and is already getting enshittified.

firefox on android allows you to play youtube and block the screen.

Yep, it has a widget for that.

like this?

Tesla 🤣

I will not buy Nintendo ever again. I’m glad they have sullied their own name.

I recommend one of the FOSS apps in fdroid for this, don’t use a proprietary one from Google Play (like the Google Authenticator).

Oh, you. I remember you from another thread the other week, saying how Chromium is not Chrome and that this would never happen. Hi. It is happening. Also, I remember telling you to stop moving goalposts, which is what you are doing here.

Microsoft would be happy to pay Firefox to set Bing as default (has happened in the past already) so even your goalpost moving is moot.

Come on, wake up.

but they did sound the alarm? Debian took Chromium out of their repos for a time because they found unreported telemetry sent encrypted back to Google. All the info is on the net. You just need to read it.

Of course I have. I’ve never found any substantiation, which is why I’m asking. I use them every day so I would certainly like to know if there is, but the concerns I constantly see only apply to Chrome, and not Chromium-based browsers.

Just run WIreshark against your Chromium then. Enjoy.

This is specifically for the Chromium browser, not Chromium-based browsers. I know, it’s confusing. Chromium is basically just the open-sourced version of Chrome.

Did you read the link I posted?

Let me copy-paste directly from the Chromium office page for you then:

Additional Information on Chromium, Google Chrome, and Privacy

Features that communicate with Google made available through the compilation of code in Chromium are subject to the Google Privacy Policy.

There, you have it. Now you can try moving more goalposts again, and provide excuses for them.

This is yet another item attributed to Chrome and it’s users. You can totally create a Chromium fork that adheres to conventional standards.

Nah it’s not. I’m talking about Google pushing and implementing IETF standards that hamstring privacy. They are open standards, but they are malicious. That a standard is open doesn’t mean is doing things that are not ethical.

To me, it’s obvious that you don’t even want to look for proof. Why so hell-bent on taking the stance of a state-level billionare corporation built by extracting privacy from users? How do you think they got there?

Or do you have something specific against the legal non-profit organization that is Mozilla?

Evidence? OF COURSE!

Have you even tried searching for it?

Google even says so for Chromium on its own official page!

https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/144289/privacy-with-chromium

You don’t need to trust us. Trust Google, they are telling you legally if you want to listen.

Also, look up the handful of open bugs on the Debian but tracker, where known people, with name and faces (I’ve met some on conferences), showcase and share how Chromium calls home and sends encrypted data. They share their Wireshark logs.

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=792580;msg=53

Look up how Debian removed Chromium for a time, until some of it got removed upstream.

And all of this doesn’t mean that Google cannot re-introduce it or add different approaches in new updates.

Plus, Google actively creates and pushes for their “standards” via Chrome(ium), which allows them to push for even more surveillance.

In addition, Chromium is not a community project. It’s developed behind closed doors, with a secret roadmap, and a code dump happens on release. That’s no way to develop the 90% of web browser market that society needs in this day and age. But, don’t think you will care about that, do you? you are happy with papa Google for the foreseeable.

do you know of any app developers that publish their signature, so one can compare it with the one in Google Play?

I would love for my banks to do this, for example…

That’s not enough. They have a power that we can’t match.

I can recommend this incredible read: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

Fun fact, FB Messenger used to be based on the federated network XMPP. The same way that Google Messages was.

Both Google and Facebook made sure to Embrace Extended Extinguish XMPP. I was there. At some point I could talk from my Gnome contacts to both, it was incredible.

Don’t forget that. Don’t federate with Threads. There’s no room for corporations in the fediverse.

some connectors are designed to break easily. RG59 would not break, the device would break. Hence why one finds in middle connections.
